The cultural Colours of Morocco

The Cultural Colours of Morocco is part of a global project based on an unprecedented research about the meaning and the historic origin of colours and natural pigments in our neighbouring country. It was carried out by Marga Crespo, Elisabeth Eguia and Francesca Valan. This research invites the reader to get to know Moroccan craftwork, history, art and culture through the same theme leitmotiv: colour…The project includes the edition of a book-catalogue in Spanish and Arabic, a photograph exhibition of pictures taken by Elisabeth Eguia with the collaboration of Juan García Galvez and Ines Eléxpuru, and several parallel activities such as: guided visits, conferences and workshops. One of the main activities has been a training programme aimed to improve products elaborated by Moroccan artisans from different regions. This initiative has received funds from the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), as well as the support of prestigious organizations and institutions both from Spain and Morocco.
